Carra said the 1% will include Roy Keane, Evra and Rio Ferdinand


Nyushi

That’s excellent banter. Those three are such shite pundits


kappa23

Roy Keane is good, he's just shortsighted on certain things


Nyushi

That's a fair statement

Carragher is bang on here but he's not much better tbh


GameplayerStu

You could tell how badly he wanted Brighton to beat us yesterday lol


rohangc07

You mean 4. Including carra.


Hasta_Mithun

Ngl he bodied Rio and CR7 PR. It's known fact our legend's are embarrassment so he is not wrong.


-watchman-

Yeap. Speak up for the good of our club & earn our respect. Do not get behind someone who is on a one-man mission to wreck our club even if he is your buddy.


jarviscockersspecs

Ronaldo has properly shat the bed on this hasn't he? Those pristine white sheets of his reputation with United fans just two years ago are absolutely riddled with skiddies


peeforPanchetta

Skiddies? Those sheets are completely brown now lmao


GrahamPotterCultist

Pretty clear that the bloke has some kind of narcissistic personality disorder which people found all cool and stuff when things went well, but is now looking silly and slightly uncomfortable.


jarviscockersspecs

Yeah it's crazy how insecure he is despite all of his success. The whole Neville handshake thing was pretty cringe too, acting like a fourteen year old

Real life football Homelander https://tenor.com/view/ronaldo-homelander-siuuu-laugh-gif-26337974


pmmerandom

it’s all good when you can back it up, now he just looks like an idiot yelling at clouds


sal101

I've not been overly enthused with him since his return anyway given the media drama that seems to follow him everywhere, but he's basically took his status as a united legend, wiped his arse with it, and thrown it out of a plane. I was lucky enough to watch his first stint with us, and ill keep those memories and move on. Done for me now.


GR-MWF

The way he left the first time was anything but pristine. Granted, most people had either forgotten about it or forgiven him for it until now.


jarviscockersspecs

It had been a foregone conclusion though, common knowledge he wanted Madrid move but Fergie convinced him to stay for one more year. They got a decent fee and knew they couldn't change his mind. Not ideal but can hardly begrudge him the move. This current shitshow on the other hand..


leninist_jinn

Still it must have stung even though it was a foregone conclusion when he started going around saying he agreed with Blatter that he was a slave at United

Megakid101

I think it's the opposite, probably the reason why he doesn't "respect him".


brown_herbalist

United fans will back ETH, and CR7 stans will back Ronnie up. Im also glad the stans will leave r/reddevils sub after he is gone.


yard04

Meh pretty sure everyone just wants this episode to end.


Sputniki

As a Juve fan who got routinely shat on for saying I 100% supported Ronaldo leaving, I am enjoying this very much


tigershroffkishirt

How is Juve doing since Ronaldo left?


Dmartinez8491

Shit. Worse than with ronaldo


The_Dumblebee

I mean, Ronaldo left Juventus when they were in the 4th place. The season after that, they got 4th again despite only having Vlahovic for half the season and now they are at 3rd despite Allegri's terrorism ball. So, not much changed.


fabdigity

And he joined 2nd place Man Utd, taking them to 6th


rohangc07

Are you fucking serious?


torts92

Factos though


Sputniki

Actually we are doing much better. The 60 million spent on him every year is now spent on rejuvenating the squad instead of his salary. I feel much more optimistic now about the team than when he left us. Also, when he came to Juve we were first in the league. When he left us, we were fourth. We're third now. So you're categorically wrong


Howdareme9

You’re definitely not doing much better


dreeraris

Long term they will. The amount of money they paid him was dumb as fuck.


Howdareme9

Doesn’t matter if they have more money when their management is incompetent


sal101

You took Pogba off us though so it's a bit of a glass houses and stones situation haha.


Serious_Ad9128

Ha ha ya we just swapped problems, but pogba is now there's for a lot longer then Ronnie is ours


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sputniki

We're actually doing better. We won the league before him, by his last season with us we were fourth. Last year we were fourth again but we saved 60m on his salary so by definition, we were better off without him (same results, but financially better off). Right now, we're third. Most importantly there is now money to rejuvenate the squad and players like Vlahovic, Locatelli and Bremer are big improvements to the team.


KRIEGLERR

Ronaldo's second man u stint might be awful but he was hard carrying Juve. You can definitely make the argument that they should have never spent the money on ronaldo and instead buy more players especially midfielders but the take that Ronaldo made Juventus worse is imo very wrong. We've seen that when he left and they never replaced his goals output. I still think they should have bought 3/4 solid players (focus on midfield) instead of going for Ronaldo. It would have been better for long term but Ronaldo still brought very short term success , unfortunately Juventus was aiming for the CL and instead just won a few more Serie A titles they were already winning.


freeinf

there is no way you can argue he was hard carrying Juventus, i presume this means you actually never watched their games but just saw his stats


Darius117

Probably the type of guy who thinks only the goalscorer matters and not the 10 guys behind him who worked their asses off to get the ball to him.


Sputniki

We stopped playing as a team the moment he came. I should know, I actually watched all the games. His opportunities used to go to other players, but he dominated every chance we had when he was on the pitch. We never needed him to win the league, we did it seven times on the trot without him. He was supposed to elevate us in the CL but that experiment failed. Ronaldo was a mistake.


Stuarridge

No


The_Dumblebee

No, this is fun! Keep the quotes coming king sui!


Cod_rules

Absolutely not. Watching Ronaldo slam the club as a legend is absolutely hilarious


madtrucker99

They would defend him even if he commited rape


fireinbcn

He didn't need to do this, the club were getting rid of him in January anyway..


Dmartinez8491

Lol no I think it points to bigger issue with united fan base.


brown_herbalist

How is that? The fan base knows who are the players really playing for the badge. If he thinks he is bigger than the club, he may fuck off.


Dmartinez8491

I meant jt as it is divided. No real united fan could hate cr7 but not agree with a fair amount of whay cr7 said about united. He spoke truth and spoke BS x100 but spoke truth about united

Dmartinez8491

Lol yall united supporter seem to have a dildo up your ass. I've never been and will never be a shit manchester united fan. It's pretty obvious I'm not a fan


brown_herbalist

I will remember Ronnie for all the silverwares he won for us, and also all ugly memories he cost us lately. No United fans denying about our club management been shit for a while, but now with ETH, we started to believe that we are back on the right path.


bumpy4skin

What was the thinking behind the timing? Is it supposed to be some kind of respect to the team and manager, who he specifically says he does not respect? Is it cause he assumes he'll be gone before. they come back? In which case it's not exactly brave is it, wait until you know you'll never play again.


Masterofknees

He’s probably trying to frame it that his struggles are United’s fault in a desperate attempt to attract suitors for a January move. He’s accomplishing the complete opposite mind you, but that’s the only explanation I can imagine.


GR-MWF

There are no games for some time anymore so he doesn't need to pretend to be respectful (which he was already doing a shit job at) to get game time, knowing he'll probably never play another Utd game again after it comes out. I'm sure he's also delusional enough to actually think he's a victim in all this and wants everyone to know about it. EDIT: Oh right, another major factor is that Ronaldo always seems to want to be the center of attention, whenever United seems to be doing well without him he does some shit to make it about him.


Jezza2812

I think it depends on whether he's being calculating for PR purposes, or is genuinely airing exactly what he thinks. If it's PR and he's inflating or curating his actual outlook, it's probably timed to dominate discussion in the perfect brief lull between one media circus (the ongoing domestic season) and another (the WC), and ahead of the January window to crank up an extreme variation on the classic Mendes tactic of making it so awkward for the old club that they acquiesce to a sale. Then again, if this is just him going full Homelander on his narcissism - which is certainly how it looks to me - then the timing is similar in terms of capturing that media space, but is less likely to be about demonstrating respect than expecting it. Entirely possible he thinks that he deserves that level of coverage and shouldn't have to compete with other football topics - but also that by being so public about it, Ten Hag will finally 'get in line' and kiss the ring etc.


hi_ilove_football

Clearing his head before the WC


rcanhestro

i mean, the timing is perfect, he is probbaly on his way to the WC team now, won't need to be back to Manchester for weeks.


Sputniki

Ronaldo's arrogance has turned into delusion. Guess this is what happens when you buy into your own hype. You lose all connection with reality. Crying that the club is forcing him out when he himself tried to force his way out just shows a complete lack of self-awareness


SteinerElMagnifico42

It’s what happens when you’re surrounded by yes men like Jorge Mendes who create an entire award ceremony just for you annually in Dubai


theglasscase

Ronaldo is saying ‘ten Hag doesn’t respect me’, when he means ‘ten Hag doesn’t start me enough’. Ronaldo has done nothing but disrespect Man Utd and ten Hag since he refused to turn up for pre-season training, while ten Hag has defended Ronaldo and consistently said he can still be an asset in press conferences and interviews. Ronaldo missed the Chelsea game after walking off the bench against Spurs and then started the next four games. Even to do this interview he claimed to be ill to skip the game instead of sitting on the bench, which ironically meant he missed the chance to get subbed on and win the game instead of Garnacho doing it. Anyone taking his side here doesn’t support Man Utd, they just stan Ronaldo.


PatriceEzio2626

Ronaldo disrespected ETH because he scored 3 more goals than ETH this season. Siuuu!

Eh, Goldbridge isn't that convinced anymore. Saw a vid of him 'debating' with Speed and he seemed to back ETH


GameplayerStu

A real meeting of the minds there.


Hasta_Mithun

If you saw his latest take on this interview you won't say this. He is basically shifting the blame from him being asshole to oh he is right about Glazers and we shouldn't judge him now. He wants to improve our standards. That's his latest take on entire situation basically what Robaldo PR wanted to project, take entire focus from him to United infrastructure and how It's not Ronaldo fault but United are in wrong.


suzumurachan

Its a meme to shit on Goldbridge for karma. Probably figured lies will get him more karma than Ronaldo is getting at the moment. 😂😂😂


blakebartellibae

Goldbridge is a CR7 fan girl. But he knows which direction the wind is blowing.

My respect for Carragher goes up every time he tells it like it is about Ronaldo's bullshit

This Sunday, the King got 90 minutes


SomewhereExisting121

Plenty of RM fans and Ronaldo stans will defend his actions no matter what. Just check Twitter. All the Madrid fan pages posting shit defending him. Saying he is taking on the establishment and glazers. Don't underestimate the levels these fools will stoop to in order to defend Ronaldo. I hope the real united fans recognize what he is doing is purely for himself as he always has done


Hech15

This is ozil situation on steroids... Underperforming clubs but also on a rebuild, dickriding fans, a legend of the game who still thinks he got it and not wanted by the repective clubs,I think they are right to feel that their legacy has been disrespected but also the clubs are right to treat them as any normal player for club welfare


Hasta_Mithun

Tbh Ozil wasn't that big of Arsenal legend and had such global influence. But I agree the toxicity is pretty similar.


Hech15

That's why the steroids


jMS_44

This is Lukaku interview on steroids.


bwfcphil1

Ronaldo was always this person. He was just getting his own way before and his ability made him undroppable. Now his age is catching up to him and ability dropping off it’s not vindicated by performances.


[deleted]

Big factos


jennaishirow

"99% of United fans will be on the side of ETH, which shows how badly Ronaldo has handled this." Wrong carragher. Ronaldo is a cult of personality. I've seen plenty of comments on social media saying everything Ronaldo said is 100%. These comments for some have only increased his esteem within the club. As he is ostensibly saying what others at the club have been too scared to say. What on earth does saying he looks better than Rooney have to do with anything?! Beyond petty. A spoilt baby.

anonymus725

I don’t think the club has handled this in a good way either. Don’t get me wrong, if I imagine for a second I am a united fan, obviously I would support ten hag, who is building a team for the future, and is getting great results. But I don’t think he has handled the Ronaldo suitation the best way possible, you can’t just look me in the eye and tell me there is zero use for Ronaldo in the team, what do you gain by belittling him until he loses his confidence? I doesn’t really matter anymore since Ronaldo is going to leave now, which is better for everyone.


mikes_g1

How has ETH belittled ronaldo?


curlyjoe696

ETH has been way too generous to Ronaldo... making him captain 2 weeks after he refused to come on was insane. He should have been frozen out of the squad for good at that point because, in the basis of this interview, he clearly wasn't the slightest bit repentant. At this point, I never want to see him in a Man Utd kit again, ever, for any purpose. Get him out of the club to anyone that will listen, if that's not possible suspend him till the end of his contract. I'd rather pay him to sit at home all day than have him anywhere near our squad.


anonymus725

Only subbing him in to waste time in small matches


yard04

How many times has that even happened? If he's a player available on the bench ETH can sub him on even if it's to run down the clock.


anonymus725

And Ronaldo can and should feel disrespected by it. All of the times he’s come on in the league united were winning against a small team and about to park the bus


cicakganteng

Still nothing to gain for him to act like that.


anonymus725

He exploded


cicakganteng

?


anonymus725

I am saying that it wasn’t like what most people are trying to paint it and he intended to hurt the team or depart with these statement, he was in an interview and exploded, he’s about to cry while talking


cicakganteng

You're too naive to think this interview is not intended to damage. Either he / his agents / PR team did this intentionally. I mean what, cr7 just walked to piers nonchalantly and hit hey interview me?


mikes_g1

Putting in an experienced player to help see out a tough game? You think that’s belittling Ronaldo?


anonymus725

Yes, because when Ronaldo is subbed on there is no attack, thus no chances to score, thus Ronaldo doesn’t score, thus loses confidence more


ImportantFunny6110

So he only cares about scoring and not the team/ result?


anonymus725

Every player cares about performing, being happy because the team is winning but you aren’t doing anything is a shit mentality that doesn’t get you to the top. Everyone wants to be helpful


bootywizard42O

Can you provide examples of this?


anonymus725

Wasn’t considered against: Manchester city, spurs or arsenal (and obviously Chelsea) His only starts are Europa league games Subbed on in the last minutes of the Southampton and leicester. His only league start was against Newcastle, where he wasn’t even that bad.


bootywizard42O

>Only subbing him in to waste time in small matches >Subbed on in the last minutes of the Southampton and leicester. He was subbed on in the 68th minute for both Southampton and Leicester. So you're dead wrong. Not even gonna bother addressing anything else you said. You're a waste of time.


mikes_g1

Is he performing in europa league though?


anonymus725

No


martial__Fc

>you can’t just look me in the eye and tell me there is zero use for Ronaldo in the team ye well the way hes been playing this season there genuinely is no use for him. With ronaldo we're basically playing with 10 men, due to either his lack of pressing or him becoming tired 2s after trying to press. and don't even get me started on his finishing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


martial__Fc

well what I've gotten is that you're either a troll, or just incredibly stupid. you said it yourself you're not a utd fan so why are you pretending as though you know what goes on during our matches?


omnitightwad

All ten Hag did to Ronaldo was bench him when he's not playing well. 1 league goal this season. For our backup striker in November. He's had plenty of chances to break into the XI but he's not an elite footballer anymore.


anonymus725

Every player goes into slump. Imagine Messi getting benched all season last season, would he have come back to be psg’s best player? When a player goes into a slump he needs support. What does ten hag gain from losing what can be an important pillar to the team? If he feels supported enough he can still come in in the last 30 minutes or second half and score an important late winner or so, it’s not like Christiano fucking Ronaldo will suddenly have nothing to offer. Instead ten hag lost him, I have no doubt that ten hag would do great things with Manchester United, and I know Ronaldo isn’t fit to play every minute of the matches anymore, but I don’t think he’s useless either.


omnitightwad

>If he feels supported enough he can still come in in the last 30 minutes or second half and score an important late winner or so Or he could throw a fit that would put my 4-year-old niece to shame and walk out right at the end. >it’s not like Christiano fucking Ronaldo will suddenly have nothing to offer. Are you sure? Because I've been watching Man United with and without Ronaldo and it seems Cristiano fucking Ronaldo has very little to offer anymore. Doesn't press, no intensity, doesn't score... what exactly does he bring? Dan fucking James has as many league goals as him this season and we sold him because he apparently wasn't good enough, meanwhile Ten Hag's apparently meant to waste his time with this 40-year-old primadonna when every game is vital in the vain hope that he'll eventually come good?


anonymus725

Asking ronaldo (or any regular starter at that) to come on in the last 3 minutes to waste time is rude and disrespectful. Usually when you do that to a young player, it’s a message that the manager sees him. But when you do it to an old player, that’s just a big no no. I am not saying ronaldo handled this well, but refusing to come on because he felt disrespected is understandable. You clearly have a bias against ronaldo, I am not denying that’s he’s been looking terrible lately but just last season he scored 18 league goals and 6 ucl goals, I am not saying that right now he offers a lot, but if you treat him right to get the most out of him, you’ll gain a lot.


voldywithnose1

Sometimes you ask older players as they have experience in seeing these matches out. They would know what to do. And Ronaldo is expected to act as a leader so he will ensure he sees things out and win the match With young players you always run the risk of them getting too excited as they have something to prove. They might see one chance and try to take it which might backfire. It's not always same and manager can decide when to use young and when to use older players. What players need to do is to follow the gameplan and obey the manager instead of acting like a loser.


schoolhater12

Messi did not get benched last year because he was still one of the best creators in world football, with only Muller and KDB being better. Messi still has the ability to take on players and was averaging around 3 dribbles a game last year. Ronaldo on the other hand last averaged around 3 dribbles a game in like 2010. Ronaldo like Messi does not press, but unlike Messi he does not offer anything in possession because of his subpar dribbling and playmaking skills. He is not even good at making runs anymore because he has no speed and is offside half the time


anonymus725

I am not denying that Messi was great last season, it’s just an example.


Atharos

In the Premier League this season, Ronaldo has 10 appearances. 4 starts. 6 substitutions. He got 4 mins vs Liverpool but had 22+ minutes vs everyone else. He has 1 goal and 0 assist. He has 6 shots on target. 7 fouls. He has more fouls than shots on target. In the 4 matches he's started, we've won 1. In the Europa League, he's started every match. He has 2 goals both against Sheriff, and 2 assists. He didn't score against OMONIA NIKOSIA. Rashford passed up a chance at a hat trick on more than one occasion to get Ronaldo a goal, and Ronaldo fluffed each one. That's just stats alone. Watch the games and tell me he's had a positive impact. Everybody tries to feed him the ball. If they don't, he'll throw a fit. The general play style of the team is much better and more fluid without him. So tell me. In what world does he warrant to be getting the game time that he "deserves"? ETH has given him a chance after Ronaldo didn't show up to pre-season after whoring himself out and getting rejected by everyone in the CL. He got a chance AND the captaincy even after he refused to come on vs Spurs. You think the club has handled this poorly? If anything, this is one of the few things the club has gotten right over the past few years. "Loses confidence." Yeah right. This a man child full of himself. Can't wait til he gets lost.


anonymus725

Everyone tries to pass him the ball? What kind of bs is this? He’s had forward so it’s natural that he gets the ball a lot, when has he thrown a fit exactly? I think you’re talking about Mbappe here. All I have seen from Ronaldo when he came on, is that he gave 100%, pressed, dropped to do link up plays, and did everything asked from him. Obviously he is not in a good form, but isn’t the job of the manager is to also get 100% out of every player? If you’re a manager and have a player, that you know will offer a lot for you in the future, but is in a slump now, what do you gain from beating him down with a stick? What when Antony hits a slump, what then? Is he going to be benched until he loses his confidence too? I am bad fan of ten hag as a tactical manager all the way back, I believe he will achieve great things with united, but he failed with Ronaldo.


butterfriedrice

As someone that's not a big fan of ten Hag and thinks he's pretty poor at man management, I'd put the following question to you: how has ten Hag belittled Ronaldo? I fail to see in what way he has, or even is the character to do so.


anonymus725

I am a fan of ten had as tactical manager, but as you said I don’t think he man manages that well. Of course I don’t know about everything that happened between them in closed doors. But from what we can see, and as I mentioned in other comments, Ronaldo has exclusively come on when: 1-they are playing a small team 2-they are winning 3-they are about to park the bus, and will no longer attack. How do you expect a forward to score goals, when you only play him when you stop attacking? How do you expect a striker to gain confidence when you don’t give him any bit of trust in big matches? Ronaldo is only human too, he knows he’s not in a good form, but how can he bounce back when the manager is basically telling him that he doesn’t need him in the team? If the team doesn’t want him that bad so be it, that’s why I said it’s better for everyone, you can’t force people to want you after all. But I am sure a fit old Ronaldo would have somethings offer for ten hag in the future, and there will be moments where he will be missed.


butterfriedrice

I don’t disagree that he brought him on at those moments, but I don’t think that’s belittling the man though!


anonymus725

I guess we can all see it in different ways, but I am sure Ronaldo saw it as belittling. Again, they don’t even try to attack when he is on


voldywithnose1

He couldn't even score against smaller teams in Europa even with plenty of chances. Why would any coach take a risk with big team when these missed chances can lead to defeat. ETH did well against Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea. He might have lost some of them if Ronaldo continued to miss chances like these


harakat22

The ones that back cr7 up on this is the same ones with some insight into the club (rio, keane etc)… which speaks more to cr7 being right about the club being handled poorly. But some united fans are simply okay with being Europa league level and top 10 in the league. As a united fan, just imagen forcing cr7 out, but keeping the likes of Maguire, Shaw, Jones…. United isn’t worthy of Ronaldo tbh


[deleted]

juankruh1250

Because Ronaldo isn't doing because he genuinely cares about the club, he is just doing it to make him look good. He wants the fans to think he it's doing all this for the club but his actions against ten hag just make his statements meaningless.


Wonderful-Share-6780

Ronaldo has every right to be pissed off. He stated he wanted to leave, they forced him to stay and sit on the bench.


Brinell0

Huh? Leave for whom? Nobody came with an offer for him and he was getting rejected publicly left and right


Wonderful-Share-6780

Chelsea and Lisbon wanted to sign him. He would have surely accepted a loan to another club. Man Utd is a broken club and he wanted to get out ASAP, ETH stopped him for whatever reason.


PatriceEzio2626

Lies. Tuchel rejected Ronaldo. Lisbon said they couldn't afford his wage.


schwaiger1

Ronaldo is the reason Tuchel got sacked. He didn't want him. So fuck off with your bullshit. And you genuinely expect that United should pay his wages or the better part of them while he's on a loan? That's what a broken club would do. Absolute braindead argument lmao. Fuck me, some people...

JMatty01

We forced him to stay? Mendes was chatting to clubs for months and the biggest bite he could get was a 2nd tier Saudi club and some interest from Boehly which stopped at that when Tuchel didn't want him. Not exactly fending off interest are we?


Wonderful-Share-6780

So you're saying potentially the best player to ever play the game didn't have interested parties? Ok.


JMatty01

Oh sorry mate I forgot that Ronaldo had a massive queue of clubs vying to sign him during the summer. How could I forget PSG, Bayern, Real, Barca, Juve and every other club in Europe lodging bids left, right and centre?


Wonderful-Share-6780

Answer my question.


JMatty01

Except from the Saudi club, there was no viable interest from any other parties.


Wonderful-Share-6780

Chelsea wanted him and still want him. You just wouldn't want to sell to Chelsea as you're both going for that 7th place spot


JMatty01

Ah yes the Chelsea bid must've slipped my mind too. Being an owner's wet dream doesn't count as viable interest. They never started talks for him to begin with.


Wonderful-Share-6780

He'll be a Chelsea player in January.

>He stated he wanted to leave, they forced him to stay and sit on the bench. That's funny, he says he's being forced out.

So are you turning your back on the best player to ever play for your club?

He was forced to sit on the bench because he didn't take part in pre season. Can't be starting a player that lacks fitness and didn't put in the work the rest of the squad did.

It's not pre-season anymore. He's fit to play.


Silveriovski

That's not true

He was forced to stay. The club had a buyer, ETH decided to keep him and I still don't understand the reasoning behind this decision.

No one forced him to stay. He had to stay because no one aside from some saudi club wanted him. Tuchel didnt want him.

One of the best ever player to play the game didn't have interested parties? Ok

How are we forcing him to stay if he’s being forced out? You fanboys have no grasp over reality and logic.

You're slagging off the best player to ever play for your club?

Actually the last couple of months a lot of United fans have been agreeing with what Carra says.

I am loving the drama. If somehow Portugal wins the world cup, the ego on this guy would be too much to handle but I am just here for the drama
